That is an interesting approach. I've taken several PC-3 pocket
computers apart and reassembled them which is my only experience with
elastomeric strips. I've been successful in that regard on the smaller
PC-3 scale. I have to admit, I'm not eager to disassemble the LCD on
this M100 so I may
I have not had any success removing the LCD bezel so would not recommend
that approach. It was hard for me to get the elastomer strip to re-conform
on the PCB making things worse in the end. I tried it on two different
LCDs so perhaps I need more practice :)
One trick that works for me is to

That's awesome news. I followed his quest to do the PC1 screens but
then lost track of his progress I guess. I'll have to order one to add
to the projects list.
As far as new M100 elastomeric strips, a brief search on alibaba shows
plenty of manufacturers offering to make them. Probably

Yes, all the small black ones had leaked on the ones I have done. The others

I've seen your part 1 of this repair and I believe you also saw leaking

It ‘could’ also be a driver issue, i.e. the driver for one row is flakey or not
being enabled. You would have to try and match the missing row up to the
matching driver(s) and check for the proper signals. Looking at the schematic

With careful inspection with a microscope I found corrosion on the traces

The corrosion was right under the rubber conducting gasket. I disassembled
